His songs are just so straightforward about these really deep feelings that are universal, but they're so hard to write about without sounding sappy or over the top. You think of men in that era - they didn't express themselves that way. Michael McCaul

song thinking soul
I actually hear into life - seeing everything that's occurring as a conversation with God in some form.
